[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been on both, multiple times.

Western Maryland will have much prettier views.  Not even close. Not sure a 4 yr old cares about that, however.

Western Maryland has a glass-top observation car (or 2, can't recall).  The BnO trains I've been on do not.

The BnO train is likely to be a much, much shorter ride due to the nature of the tracks.  The Western Md train needs to go farther to turn around due to mountainous terrain.

Parking is closer at BnO, but both stations have dedicated lots.

The museum attached to the BnO train ride is infinitely better than the station attached to the Western Md **for a 4 yr old**  You can prolong the experience at BnO, though tix are not cheap for the entire family.

I think the Santa and decor aspect of each train is about equal IIRC. Santa walks around greeting ppl, etc.  There are Christmas lights strung up.

Thanks! I’ve read the museum at B&O is much better. How much does this matter? And if we were to do the Western Maryland train, should we do a daytime ride so we can actually see the views? We thought going in the dark might be more “magical,” but maybe not? Which seats did you get?[/quote]
